obama said the 1980s called and they want their cold war back. ridiculing romney to say you're out of touch. in the last few months, it's been one front after another, whether it's putin supporting bashar al assad in syria, or that weird show trial where they threw the cia agent out of the country and put him on camera and made a fool out of him. you know, recently, a former senior bush administration official told me that the bush people watched putin go from a confident man to an arrogant man. now there's a worry that he's meg la maniacal, that he's not entirely rational anymore and unfortunately, seems like he's enjoying taking it out on the u.s. >> michael thank you for joining us. much more coming up next hour. >>> coming up next, the 40-year-old footage of richard nixon hidden away in the fbi's vault, unveiled for the first time in a new film. we'll get a preview. >>> and at the top of the hour, the bizarre, disturbing testimony of the cleveland kidnapper and rapist ariel castro. we have more details about his court appearance, an appearanc

president obama making a case for a military strike possibly. he says there is clear proof the regime was behind the use of deadly chemical weapons. the president also says he has not yet made a final decision on his military options, but he certainly appears to be moving closer and closer to using force. >> in no event are we considering any kind of military action that would involve boots on the ground, that would involve a long-term campaign, but we are looking at the possibility of a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that not only syria but others around the world understand that the international community cares about maintaining this chemical weapons ban. >> we'll have the very latest developments this hour including graphic video of a new chemical attack. and is the president doing the right thing if he goes at it alone? will it mean for america if he does? i'll talk to the former chief of the united nations weapons inspector. >>> plus, the nfl's landmark concussion settlement. what it means for the sport and safety of players

we're analyzing president obama's speech this afternoon. the president wants congress to debate and vote on the limited u.s. military response, this after syria's government allegedly unleashed chemical weapons on its own people. our panel will talk about this u.s. air force lieutenant michael short and cnn analyst bob bear and dana bash, chief correspondent for cnn. president obama says he is ready to act but he wants congress to get involved first. listen. >> after careful deliberation i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets. this would not be an open-ended intervention. we would not put boots on the ground. instead, our action would be designed to be limited in duration and scope. but i'm confident we can hold the assad regime accountable for their use of chemical weapons, deter this kind of behavior, and degrade their capacity to carry it out. our military has positioned assets in the region. the chairman of the joint chiefs has informed me that we are prepared to strike whenever w

an unprecedented move by the obama administration. so with us now from washington, d.c., is gloria borger, our chief political analyst. and so gloria, we know members of congress who have seen this intelligence, they seem to support the embassy closures, even republicans. listen to this. >> i'm a republican, but i'm saying the administration -- they've had different issues. what they are doing now is what has been to be done. they'd be derelict if they didn't. we can't criticize them for doing too much. >> congressman king, republican. is everyone up there behind the president? >> yeah, i think congressman king kind of summed it up pretty well. look, you know, even the vice president was up on capitol hill last week talking to members in a classified briefing. it's clear to me from my sources, listening to what people are saying publicly is that they have some incontrovertible evidence. and what they're doing is they're erring on the side of caution particularly given what occurred in benghazi. i mean, you know, they're trying to do a
